The vaginal process can thus become a hernia sac that often contains bowel and in girls, an ovary. The diagnosis of inguinal hernia is made by history and physical examination.

Long-term follow-up of incontinence and urge complaints after intensive urotherapy in childhood (75 patients followed up for 16.2-21.8 years).

Methods: From 1987 to 1990, 95 children (13 boys and 82 girls; age 6-17 years) underwent hospitalized urotherapy to treat functional lower urinary tract symptoms. This group was traced and a questionnaire was administered by telephone.
